Foxconn suicides \’game\’ reborn on Android platform: report

A video \’game\’ inspired by the suicides at the Foxconn
manufacturing plants was apparently found so objectionable by Apple Inc.
that the company removed it from the Apple Apps Store last month.

But now ‘In a Permanent Save State,’ created by Benjamin Poynter, which depicts what the seven laborers who committed suicide may have experienced in the afterlife, is available on Google Play Store for 99 cents , according The Verge.

Apple removed the game for violating guidelines rejecting games that \”solely target a specific race, culture, a real government or corporation, or any other real entity,” the Verge said, citing unnamed sources.

Google doesn’t have such guidelines, according to the Web site. Google
representatives could not immediately be reached for comment.
